Allen-Bradley KwikLink Insulation
Displacement Connectors (IDCs)
interface drop cables to the flat cable
trunkline with optimal plug-and-play
capability at minimal cost. The hinged,
two-piece base snaps snugly around
the flat cable at any point along the
trunk. Contact is made with the cables
four conductors by tightening two
screws that drive the contacts through
the cable jacket and into the
conductors. The upper portion of the IDC provides the connection to the drop
cable and is available in several
versions including micro- and
open-style connectors. Sealed versions
offer NEMA 6P and 13, IP 67 and 1200
psi washdown protection and feature a
wide working temperature range
(2575C (13167F)) for outdoor
use. The compact Valox construction
(roughly 2 inch square) makes KwikLink
IDCs chemically resistant for use in
harsh industrial environments.
